0. 00 P rologue Genetic Algorithm is a search method used in artificial intelligence and computing. It is used for finding optimized solutions to search problems based on the theory of natural selection and evolutionary biology.
Crowd Simulation is the process of simulating the movement (or dynamics) of a large number of entities or characters.

Vestigial structure is an anatomical feature that no longer seems to have a purpose in the current form of an organism of the given species. Often, these vestigial structures were organs that performed some important function in the organism at one point in the past. However, as the population changed due to natural selection, those structures became less and less necessary until they were rendered pretty much useless.

Approach: This thesis posits an architecture in which two antithetical morphological systems - genetic algorithms and crowd simulation - are forced to dialogue in order to create an intelligent network for mixed use development as an application for the cities' airports as a crossing culture nodes. It argues for the necessity of the incorporation of both the top-down and bottom-up method in design. Genealogy: Viewsheds and crowds, discrete Automation, Mutation and Vestigial Evolution. Z-Nodes: Proposing airports as a crossing culture nodes that accommodate a different activities between different users with different cultures in the physical world, engaging this idea and taking it further to assume that airports shouldn't be isolated and should be close to cities' centers, this vision stands in counteractive with all social media networks as a virtual realm that provides the perfect connectivity between people and culture in virtual world. The design process aims to Create a general strategy with multiple and flexible rules for designing airports to reconfigure the whole image of the isolated wide platform of the point to point departure to a crossing culture node. The research also considers how the involvement of providing different interactions between users [passengers] in the design and how further would the design support an engaging and intelligent circulation and its interaction toward surrounded environment, and how it can adapt to the user activities. The accuracy of prediction in the simulations determines how flexibility and connectivity we achieve in our multi-function networks.

Following the nature of information in digital architecture I argue for the necessity of the incorporation of both the top-down and bottom-up method in airport's terminal design, assuming that mapping activities inside terminal buildings should provide different interaction between passengers that create a flow of spatial experience supported with AI system and self-service technologies as a common platform between a multi-culture users that drive a new mantra of their interactions for the physical realm and away from the methodology of point to point departure in the program and design of airports. Airports architecture should be out of that context of heterotopic spaces or the functional transitory buildings but should support the sociocultural phenomenon as a very specific public space.

The process following a discrete automation within a vestigial structure, in which the simulation run first then cut at a random point, then adding more variations or taking the result at the cutting point then continuing as a pre-sketch for the next phase of design. Choosing one of the airports where located close to a dense urban fabric and the city center. Evaluating it and making connectivity analysis, measuring how the airport connected with context with a study on the morphology of the built environment. Mapping airports requirements and the available open spaces and the possibilities of interventions for the new proposal, integrating a network between the terminal building, train station, parking and the hotel, then focus on the terminal building. The circulation inside terminals following a discrete process of flow in motion in which the user follow a discrete sequence of events in time in a linear strategy to pass in between the determined check points and gates. Extracting and interpret variables from these spaces and circulation inside the terminal add on them viewsheds optimization analysis to feed it as an input for the form-finding variables. After mapping the activities inside the terminal, mapping users movements will be determined, a new proposed plans will be configured to support more flexible space and circulation aided with Artificial intelligence system.

A self-operating machine, or a machine or control mechanism designed to automatically follow a predetermined sequence of operations, or respond to predetermined instructions. a full systems designed to be automated, managed to be handeled by an autonomous agents, another kind of brains that can evolve thinking and make decisions under the sence of Artificial intelligence. AI, as defined in Intelligent Agents Theory and Practice in 1994 as no doubt already, is an umbrella term for intelligent software and computing. For software to be deemed intelligent, it needs to be capable of things like reasoning, knowledge, planning, learning, communication, and perception; in essence, it needs to be more human. Focusing into the relation between this encoding to a computer aided architectural design is determined by the specification of design criteria and the procedures for automatically generating design solutions. This approach in design requires an alternative representations of any architectural space into a mathematical and operational order, which is becomes more difficult and complex during the process of any architectural design. The difficult task that when a solution to an architectural design problem is produced by a computer, it initially exists in the form of a collection of symbols stored in the machine’s memory, it needs to be encoded into the physical reality of an implemented design.

These digital blocks can be assembled with a robot in an easy pick and place manner where a gripper can grip the block from specifically designed gripping spots. These gripping spots define the geometry of the brick. The robotic blocks can also be tracked by cameras during the assembly process, so the robot has a understanding of the structure it is building, and can react to possible mistakes.

Behaviour means the range of actions and mannerisms made by individuals, systems, or artificial entities in conjunction with themselves or their environment, which include the other systems or organisms around as well as the physical environment.1 The word has related synonyms toward any design issue: functioning, action, performance, operation, running, reaction, response, and more. Through behaviours a generic strategies can be identified, it affords organisational parameters to evolve through systemic forms of interaction, following a non-linear design strategy a behavioral patterns can be mapped and within it establishing rules of interaction of autonomous agents to create a preliminary design approach through a computer code that can grow, evolve and mutate architectural matter without the burden of preconceived ideas of top-down process. Proposing a decentralized connective network model developed through transcoding of agent-based systems and a simulation of multidisciplinary activities based on the motion as predefined inputs to create a pattern as a basic function of the agents‘ behavior that could incorporate into the design of circulation systems that are able to evolve and forecast future possibilities of different interactions.

It works on many disciplines such as optimization, machine learning, social systems etc. Recently Genetic algorithms [GA] and neural networks are working togeather toward intelligence, so neural network plays the role of mapping the network from the inputs to the outputs and genetic algorithm with the variations and mutations make the learning process through multiple generations. However GA is a search method used in artificial intelligence and computing, it is used for finding optimized solutions to search problems based on the theory of natural selection and evolutionary biology. Since it has been used in architecture to solve complicated functional problems, it becomes as an advantage for evolutionary computer processes. GA discovered in architectural processes to be one of many approaches for the optimization and evolution, it gives different variations and adaptive solutions and also the evaluating criteria dynamic with the results. The strong inputs, variations, and mutations it receives, the more possibilities and solutions it counts.

Machine learning [ML] allows computers to find hidden insights without being explicitly programmed where to look, using algorithms that itertively learns from data as inputs. Robotics are the best example of reinforced learning, but its not the intention in this section, neverthless, ML has optimization as a method, it predicts the next option which has not existed before, base on the training.

The built environment as the societal information process, everything must resonate with everything else, the information which gives the field its charges, these data that responsible for initiate the digital design process, If form follow these data so what it will look like; data is not the perfect in the position that can describe the process, data could be a function too, it could be a way of construction of an idea, and it could be a code which becomes a medium between form and ideas, this medium allows us to define forms via formulas and iterate their topology and geometry, the autonomy of this process allows different types of mutations and variations, which give us a different type of space, a topological space based on bi-continuous deformation and non-linear spatial relationships. Digital computing representation has ignored the ground surface in architecture since XYZ became exchangeable with each other. the now autonomous topological surface assumed a topological space-system, substituting and also ignoring Cartesian reference. This topological space does not serve as a system of measurement and reference as non-Euclidean geometry is contained within a range, constructed, structured, regulated, parameterized and measured against the Cartesian coordinate system.

Recursion neatly encapsulates the logic of computation, and Coates's favourite programming language was LISP, and elegant language based on nesting expressions like the recursion itself. He thus developed a series of fractal models like this fractal decomposition with student Tom Appels based on the Belgian theorist Dom Hans Van der Laa's aesthetic catalogue of shapes.

Rethinking Airports Heterotopic space was defined by Michel Foucault as “places that are outside places, though they are localizable” He further argues in Different Spaces, that we have moved from localization to extension into our contemporary times’ understanding of place as a case of emplacement. Emplacement differs from earlier understandings of place in being a relational space; “proximity between points or elements” meaning that we need to pay attention to the relations as much as the place itself. Ursula K. Le Guin's stories in the light of airport spatial understanding, the way the airport terminal is conceived in her collections is an interesting view of cultural space.

C ul tu re N od e s
Justine Lloyd in the Airport Technology he argued that the airport exists as a liminal space, often defined by what it lacks or as nodes along a network. Such a network which, in complexity terms, is not fully distributed as some nodes (airports) are more connected than others. Airports own multi-functional networks, wide range of services and utilities, a place can be seen as one where transitional spaces create transitional relationships between transitional activities within a network of movements created by multicultural users. Airports architecture should be out of that context of heterotopic spaces or the functional transitory buildings but should support the sociocultural phenomenon as a very specific public space, it should be rethought with another strategy, it should be close to each city center and not isolated, it should accommodate and communicate in the built environment.

The first terminal, designed by Paul Andreu, It consists of a circular terminal building which houses key functions such as check-in counters and baggage claim conveyors. Seven satellites with boarding gates are connected to the central building by underground walkways. The central building, with a large skylight in its centre, dedicates each floor to a single function. The first floor is reserved for technical operations and not accessible to the public. The second floor contains shops and restaurants, the CDGVAL inter-terminal shuttle train platforms (for Terminal 2 and trains to central Paris) and check-in counters from a recent renovation. The majority of check-in counters, however, are located on the third floor, which also has access to taxi stands, bus stops and special pickup vehicles. Departing passengers with valid boarding passes can reach the fourth floor, which houses duty-free stores and border control posts, for the boarding gates. The fifth floor contains baggage claim conveyors for arriving passengers. All four upper floors have assigned areas for parking and airline offices.1

Visio n In these sequence of experiments, a pre-defined input inherits buildings, it is designed according to several aspects such as human behavior in motion, flexible circulation and the spatial experiment in the built environment, following certain rules is the behavioural norm, finding the form genetically approached parallel to the experiments, an exist program implemented to enhance the design process, and AI system controls the proposed networks. In general, the autonomy of this processes with the vestigial evolution allows different types of mutations and variations, but considering the research being based on prediction in simulations as an approach for developing the proposed idea in airports terminals buildings, is not quite clear to get a functional network, because in theory you don't need to watch the simulation in order to find out the result, however simulations could be able to encode a design process into a non-predicted approach, they are unexpected and self-organized by the proposed rules, but the difficulties appear when it comes to letting them experiment the physical world, but the criterion in these process is the efficient rules that need the human's brain to evaluate, nevertheless the necessity of the incorporation of both the top-down, and bottom-up method in design becomes very efficient if it is following an informative structure for the evaluation strategy. In particular, the use of evolutionary processes in design, AI, Genetic algorithms, behavioral and self-organizing systems, are facing a real challenge for the development of form-function model, the representation of these two information types is difficult for a digitalized process. However, it could aid in the design strategies and prepare for a more structured design processes, but not to get the result of an architectural combined model. A distributed approach, based on a network of intelligent objects, may be more suitable, or the data that is used to represent function and use, can be relocated within different types of constructs while linked to-

each other, such as the way an object can find its way of seeing by defining an attribute that gives him all ideas about the environment and a local responses to response for it as the desired action; But still they are the desired actions that predefined and re-evaluated from a past experiences. Add on top of these processes, the typology of the spaces I chose such as airports terminal buildings, proposing it as a multi-cultural node, could be evaluated by these strategies and can be controlled by an intelligent system, but it can't be designed based on accuracy of predictions, it can re-evaluated by these outputs for a several futuristic iterations in the design as a preliminary approach through a computer code that can grow, evolve and mutate architectural matter without the burden of preconceived ideas of top-down process.

Im pl em ent at ions Architecture is neither a collection of things or a set of rules and codes16, AI, ML, GA, ... all these definitions could be applied in a visionary processes, 2d representations, stages in design analysis, or in a virtual reality world, but in a 3d architectural space they fail, they are not limited and not predicted, they can't delegate thinking between human behaviour and reactions, it's possible to give a response but not in a real dimensional space.
